8. thanks

I don't like anyone using the telephone for solicitation of any kind. The push-pull calls that start out with a lie are the worst. "What would you think if ........." (insert lie)

2. yes. but not slimefests like mccain's.

it's not the robocalls themselves that are the problem, any more than it's the TV ads themselves. the medium isn't the message. the message is the message, and the messages are light-years apart.

7. thanks for responding

9. But robocalls, any robocalls, are anathema to me.

Obama has enough money to use other methods.

3. Ms. Palin also said...

He hated America. Was a terrorist by association. Blah blah blah.

As the saying goes, how do you tell when a politician is lying? Their lips move.

4. she can't spell robo

5. His robocalls are condemning McCain and Palin's calls.

It's perfectly appropriate and pretty powerful.
